I don’t think compiling from source is easy even on Linux. Whenever I try it whatever program I’m trying to compile just refuses to compile, even though I seem to have all of the necessary programs for it. I can’t recall successfully compiling anything other than suckless tools, which have basically no dependencies.
Is it that hard to compile from source on Windows? I’ve been on Linux for 20 years, so I genuinely don’t know.

I don’t know. The only time I’ve had significant issues was with Arch. Debian has always been good to me inbthat regard.
